555 Killing a Child
It took the Japanese enemy's 21th Division's st Infantry Regiment, more than men, three days and three nights to finally get out of the short distance of sixty or seventy miles.
Along the way, this Japanese army lost more than 200 people due to injuries and accidents.
At this time, the commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, Miki Yoshinosuke, who finally came out of the primitive jungle, looked back at the vast primitive jungle.
My heart couldn't help but tremble.
If he had a choice, he would never walk through this primitive jungle again. It was simply a nightmare.
Fortunately, they are out now.
The Japanese regiment commander looked at the rushing Irrawaddy River in the distance. Across the river was Yenangyaung.
That is the purpose of their trip.
Miki Yoshinosuke finally smiled grimly: "Yo, it's all worth it."
Then he turned to the Japanese officer behind him and said, "Send a telegram to the headquarters.
Tell the commander that we have passed through the primitive jungle.
We will cross the river tonight and attack Yenangyaung."
At this time, in the Siamese devil headquarters, the old devil Yamashita Tomoyuki had not slept for two days.
In addition to the fact that the Japanese 25th Army's attack was ineffective and it was unable to break through the British army's second line of defense, which made him upset.
He was also very worried about the 21st Regiment of the Japanese Army, which had no news at all.
Based on the current situation on the battlefield in Burma, Yamashita Tomoyuki knew that he wanted the main force of his 25th Army to break through the British defense line head-on and reach the northern battlefield.
It is basically impossible to rescue the various divisions of the Japanese 15th Army.
The British army's sudden and extraordinary performance on the battlefield caught Yamashita Tomoyuki off guard.
At the beginning, the main force of the Japanese 25th Army broke through the British defense line on the coast south of Yangon in just one day and one night.
Yamashita Tomoyuki was extremely happy.
He didn't expect the British army to be so vulnerable.
This greatly increased his chances of successfully rescuing the 15th Army.
As a result, in the following days, the Japanese 25th Army fought a bloody battle for several days with more than 100,000 British troops on the British second line of defense.
But they only advanced a few kilometers.
Yamashita Tomoyuki's mood went through the same process as Stilwell's, from surprise to pessimism.
Fortunately, Yamashita Tomoyuki knew himself and had a surprise force.
This was a strategy he had made before the war began.
In every battle, the key is to use the normal tactics to win!
Yamashita Tomoyuki, the old Japanese soldier, was very experienced. Before the battle, he had a premonition that they might not be able to win on the frontal battlefield this time.
So faced with this dire situation, we can only resort to unexpected means.
The Japanese 21st Regiment was a unique strategy of Yamashita Tomoyuki.
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 21th, Yamashita Tomoyuki finally received the telegram sent back by the st Regiment of the Japanese.
"Haha, it's done, it's done!
Well done to Miki-kun, you didn't let me down."
Yamashita Tomoyuki was very happy when he saw the telegram in his hand.
Then, he walked to the battle map and looked at the northern battlefield, where the Japanese 15th Army had been divided into three parts by the expeditionary force commanded by Ye Qingshan.
He whispered: "Ye Qingshan, don't you want to divide and eat our Fifteenth Army?
This move of yours was really ruthless and it really made you successful.
If this continues, our 15th Army will most likely be in danger.
But now, it's my turn to take action.
What do you think of my strategy of cutting off the source of the trouble, secretly attacking Chencang, and surrounding Wei to save Zhao?
What should you choose next? "
Yamashita Tomoyuki was obviously very proud of his move, with a smile on his face.
There was no more of the previous look of distress.
The Japanese Chief of Staff Suzuki So also came over and saw Yamashita Tomoyuki's happy face and said:
"Mr. Yamashita, you used quite a lot of ancient Chinese military tactics in this move."
Suzuki So knew that Yamashita Tomoyuki often read ancient Chinese military books, so he started to joke about it.
"Yes, Suzuki-kun.
If this move of mine succeeds, I can revitalize the entire chess game.
This is my 'killing son'.
I want to see how Ye Qingshan cracks it."
Yamashita Tomoyuki was full of vigor and enthusiasm at this time, and after a pause he continued: "Although the Chinese are our enemies, and are now backward and declining.
But they were once glorious.
There are still many things worth learning, and the art of war is one of them.
There are many military books written by their ancestors, and after reading many of them, you will be amazed.
I suggest you read some Chinese military books. I can lend you a few."
"OK."

Yenangyaung, the British 12th Division camp.
Division Commander Hannibal Cheng was in his headquarters, listening to the beautiful music on the phonograph and savoring his coffee, looking very happy.
"Master!"
A British major officer rushed in and interrupted the enjoyment of the division commander Hannibal.
"Major Raphael, is there something urgent?"
Hannibal looked unhappy.
"Commander, General Stilwell sent another telegram, urging us to send the third batch of supplies.
The general asked us when the convoy carrying the third batch of ammunition and supplies could set off."
The British major also knew that he had disturbed his commander's time of enjoyment, so he spoke cautiously.
"Reply to General Stilwell, it is the rainy season here.
The water level on the Irrawaddy River surged and washed away the floating bridge.
As a result, the ammunition and supplies shipped from Imphal were delivered one day late.
But don't worry, General. All the ammunition and supplies have now been delivered to us.
Tomorrow morning, the third convoy will be able to head south.
Make sure it doesn't delay their battle on the front line."
After Hannibal finished speaking, he continued to play the phonograph and ignored the British major.
The British major left angrily and went to reply to Stilwell's telegram.
At this time, Yenangyaung, which was the British army's rear supply transit station, was definitely the safest place in Hannibal's view.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of expeditionary troops in the north, there are also hundreds of thousands of British main forces commanded by Stilwell on the southern battlefield.
Even if the Japs flew, they couldn't reach them.
His task was to continuously receive various military supplies sent from Imphal.
Then, it was sent to the hundreds of thousands of British troops on the front line.
That's why Hannibal dares to be so leisurely.
On the night of the 6th, the expeditionary force on Ye Qingshan's side launched the final general attack on the Japanese 15th Army in the early morning.
On the Irrawaddy River west of Yenangyaung, the Japanese 21st Regiment also arrived here.
They began to quietly build a pontoon bridge to cross the river.
At nine o'clock in the evening, all 21 Japanese soldiers from the st Regiment crossed the river.
"Death, Englishman!"
Miki Yoshinosuke stood on a hillside, looking at the brightly lit British military camp in the distance and grinned.
Behind him were three thousand vicious and elite Japanese soldiers.
“After tonight, our wing will single-handedly turn the tide of the battle.
Everyone, go!"
The Japanese regiment commander waved his hand, and 3,000 elite Japanese soldiers took advantage of the night to approach the British military camp in Yenangyaung.
